Tuesday, Feb. 20: Spring 2007 Meet & Greet 4-7PM / Rm. 801, 1104 S. Wabash / Presented by the Advanced Production Center
Looking to work on an advanced film this semester? Need to fill out your crew? Stop by the 2007 spring meet & greet, pitch, watch a pitch, grab a snack, shake a few hands, and GET CREWED UP!!! (It's that simple.)
Directors & Producers -- Sign up to pitch in the Advanced Production Center (Room 517) or the Film & Video Office (Room 301) or just show up ready to go. Note: This has to be a Columbia sanctioned project to pitch -- Sorry.
Cinematographers -- Bring Reels
Everyone Else -- Bring Your Bad Self (along with resumes, reels, portfolios, samples of work, etc. -- if you got'em. If not, just your bad self will do.)
Wednesday, Feb. 21: That's a Wrap: Packaging & Marketing Film Work 4-6PM / HUB, 1104 S. Wabash / Presented by the Portfolio Center
Films are about the final product. In addition to what's being seen and heard on screen, your films are also being evaluated on how they are presented. Whether it is assembling your reel, developing a website or designing a film's marketing materials the output must be a professional representation. We'll show examples and have several local film professionals and film festival organizers comment on what sells and what doesn't.
Thursday, Feb. 22: Producer's Guild of Columbia General Meeting 5-7PM / HUB, 1104 S. Wabash / Presented by Producer's Guild of Columbia

Friday, Feb. 23: Staged Readings 2-5PM / Room 302, 1104 S. Wabash / Presented by Producer's Guild of Columbia
The final wrap-up session to Production week will give students a more audio/visual experience of what Columbia's advanced films are about. In addition, interested students may sign-up to work on films or answer short questionnaires to aid the filmmakers in the process.
Students working on advanced projects may submit their scripts to be read and Advanced Students interested in directing stage readings should all contact and/or send submissions to PGCOLUMBIA@YAHOO.COM.
